TSH stimulation test (or T3 suppression test), thyroglobulin autoantibody (= TgAA false positive and negative tests do occur)
Tests that may confirm the diagnosis include measurement of the serum concentrations of total T4, free T4, and TSH; provocative thyroid function tests (eg,
TSH stimulation test); thyroid gland imaging; and response to thyroid hormone supplementation.
The TSH stimulation test evaluates the response of the thyroid gland to exogenously administered TSH and is a test of thyroid reserve.
In some cases, your dog may have to undergo an additional test called
a TSH Stimulation test.
Elevated levels of LPS have been shown to affect pituitary
TSH stimulation, T4 production and TBG production.

Upon
stimulation by thyroid - stimulating hormone (
TSH), the thyroid produces two main hormones: thyroxine (T4), the major form of thyroid hormone in the blood, and triiodothyronine (T3), the active hormone (three to four times more potent than T4), which primarily regulates the metabolic machinery inside cells.
The influence of L - T4 on both thyroid autoantibody levels and thyroid volume might be explained by reduction of antigenic substance through a decreased
stimulation of thyroid tissue by circulating
TSH as was seen in CH but not in SH patients.
TSH (Thyroid
Stimulation Hormone) is the most common marker of thyroid function.
This is regulated by thyroid
stimulation hormone (
TSH) produced by the brain (specifically the pituitary).
If the level of T4 is low then your veterinarian will use other more precise tests are called a
TSH and TRH
stimulation tests.
Such tests include but are not limited to infectious disease titers, thyroid hormone analysis (T4, fT4, T3,
TSH), specialized liver tests (blood ammonia), Cushing's disease or Addison's disease tests (such as basal cortisol level, ACTH
stimulation test, HDDS or LDDS tests, dexamethasone suppression test), insulin: glucose ratio, pancreas - assessment tests (PLI, TLI, cobalamin, folate), creatinine kinase, ionized calcium, PTH or PTHrP, SDMA for renal assessment, serum protein electrophoresis, tests to assess blood clotting (PT, PTT, ACT, TT, FDPs, D - dimers), and blood gas measurements.
